Zusammenfassung

The monadic shallow linear Horn fragment is well-known to be decidable and
has many application, e.g., in security protocol analysis, tree automata, or
abstraction refinement. It was a long standing open problem how to extend the
fragment to the non-Horn case, preserving decidability, that would, e.g.,
enable to express non-determinism in protocols. We prove decidability of the
non-Horn monadic shallow linear fragment via ordered resolution further
extended with dismatching constraints and discuss some applications of the new
decidable fragment.
